[Asterisk-Users] Now that Nufone is dead...

[Wes Baehr]

That's strange... they're just screwing nufone directly, when nufone
attempts to port the number to its new carrier? I ported my TF to another
provider (not nufone) and it took about 3 days.

I kept my toll-free number, it just took an extra step to get it  
working. Apparently their old provider is screwing them and taking  
whatever time they want to do the porting. To speed it up there's an  
option called "force-porting", as they explained to me. The old  
provider will act faster for a fee of $60. NuFone is willing to eat  
that cost if you put those $60 into your NuFone account and put "For  
QUICK TFN port" in the payment comments, they will initiate the force  
porting request but leave that amount in your account so you can use  
it for your normal call activity.

Pretty fair I'd say. The only problem is that they might not have  
advertised this option to every customer stuck with that particular  
problem.

Other than that, any "new" toll-free DID as well as "standard" DID  
you order works instantly.
